An Ornery Kind of Kid
“An Ornery Kind of kid” Currents in Events page 222 Please, if you would, imagine for a moment the most inconsiderate, rude boy you know. Now, think of that boy’s behavior problems, times 10, and what you get is Mayo Maloney. This child is truly a parent’s worst nightmare, the spawn of Satan himself, the Hitler of his era. Hopefully, this characterization will help you see how your own “problem child” may as well be Gandhi. The first thing about Mayo I am going to attack is his overly self-confident behavior. Without even saying anything, Mayo is able to make you madder than you have ever been, I have never met him and yet I want to, well, to put it bluntly, beat him mercilessly!
